My site is using Pinboard with a static home page.
When I go to my “blog” page, it shows two full-width excerts with half-page excerpts under them.
When I change the template of the “blog” page, the page never changes. I can say “no sidebar” or “sidebar left” or “landing page” or any of the templates and the page never changes its look.
What am I missing? Thanks.
You need to change the layout in Theme Options, not the page template because WordPress overrides this page’s settings when it’s set as blog page.
